Package: sun-java5 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Currently the package places files in /usr/share/mime-info, which provides info for the old GNOME mime system. I think these files were last used by gnome-vfs 2.6.
Current versions of GNOME use the freedesktop.org shared-mime-info database. Since you are using dh_installmime, creating debian/sharedmimeinfo with the following content should suffice: <?xml version="1.0"?> <mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'> <mime-type type="application/java-archive"> <comment>Java Archive</comment> <glob pattern="*.jar"/> </mime-type> <mime-type type="application/x-java-jnlp-file"> <comment>Java Web Start application</comment> <glob pattern="*.jnlp"/> </mime-type> </mime-info> Although the obsolete files are harmless if left installed, my preference would be to remove them to reduce the level of cruft on systems where the package is installed, as well as user confusion. The same applies to the files in /usr/share/application-registry, which have been supersceded by the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (530, 'testing'), (520, 'unstable'), (510, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
